I am attempting to build a linear induction flashlight. I was wondering if the concept below could be used to make the magnet slide down a pole inside a coil with no friction. The interior of a tube magnet with an S polarity would slide down the S end of a rod magnet, that way the inside of the tube would be equally repelled on all sides making the fall frictionless. Could this concept work? Also, would this continuous interaction between the magnets cause either of the magnets to become demagnetized if a neodymium magnet is used? Is there an easier way to create a frictionless fall? Any advice at all on how to make this work? (the tube magnet would not be a monopole) (sorry for any misused terms)
